Haven't been posting here for a long time. Anyone still taking interest in plastic scale modelling? This is my recently finished Finnish Leopard 2. It's the old 1/35 Esci kit.

I have to do a bit of catching up here on BS as my last post is many weeks old. In the meantime I have finished among other projects this conversion of the old Tamiya 1/35 German Horch into a Finnish workshop truck. Heavy mud weathering was true fun.

If you haven't had enough of my endless variations of the same 1/35 desert plate you probably might enjoy this one. It's the German SdKfz. 231 (Historic kit) this time meeting a British Rolls-Royce AC (old Roden kit).

Good choice mate a couple of years ago I incorporated the same ruin from a Bolt Action starter set into a small dio.

I have another one of these pairing the newly finished SdKfz 231 with its 8-wheeled successor the SdKfz 232, which I built a couple of years ago.

You saw this one coming, haven't you? Many new possibilities now for staging a couple of Western Desert scenes with my newly finished SdKfz. 231. Like this one pairing up with Tamiya's classic SdKfz. 222.

Today I finished weathering my 1/35 Historic kit SdKfz 231. Heavy pigment use because it's representing a - what if - Afrikakorps scout car in 1941. 😅

Back in the 90s I was immensely proud of this 'Desert Storm' light tank conversion (ab)using Italeri's venerable 38(t) kit. In the meantime today I have to confess that modelling and weathering wise it hasn't aged too well ... 😅

Another better view of my - I have to admit totally fictitious 😅 - 1/35 Finnish Strv m/41 S-III with the long 50mm gun.

Happy to show my latest finished 1/35 project, an
Italeri kit conversion. It's the experimental Swedish Strv m/41 S-III with the long 50mm gun which was extensively tested by the Finnish army after 1945. Project was soon abandoned as Soviet T-54/55 became available.

Up to this day this has been one of my most enjoyable ship projects, converting Revell's ancient 1/142 North Sea Trawler into a 1/72 German Vorpostenboot in the Mediterranean by using many parts from the S-100 kit and a lot of scratch built structures.

For the moment you'll have to live with some of my older projects as the newer ones are still under construction 😅 Like this what-if 1/35 Australian 'technical' Bedford with a 40 mm Bofors (both base kits by Italeri) I built recently for a group build. A truly enjoyable fun project.

2/2 I can't promise regular updates as I want to finish kits first but let's see how this new adventure will develop 😉

Hi everyone, this is my first BS post. I'm one of those Twitter dudes looking for alternatives. My accounts have always been strictly hobby based, politically neutral and kind to everybody taking interest. My goal is to promote the incredibly great fun of plastic scale modelling and miniatures. 1/2
